Chapter 42: Into the Tiger's Den

In a small courtyard in Xunyang City, Jiang Yao, Xiuying, and Bao Du stayed at home, because there were major things that had not been completed, and they tried not to show their heads.

Xiuying tied the man's hair in a bun and pinned it with a hosta. "Brother Jiang, how can I help?" Xiuying asked tentatively.

Xiuying's injury recovery is almost the same, and she is unwilling. "Stay at home honestly and don't do nothing."

Jiang Yao gave her a death order, and she was never allowed to interfere in the matter of revenge.

She quietly waited for the criminals to be brought to justice, and then set off for Chang'an. The den of thieves is the den of tigers and wolves, and it is self-evident how dangerous Brother Jiang's trip is.

Xiuying also knows the depths, and with her Taoism, she can deal with a criminal gang full of evil, in addition to being cannon fodder, she is still cannon fodder.

She was not capable of annihilating them on her own. He didn't have the ability to help Jiang Yao.

In addition to waiting, don't make trouble for Jiang Yao, take care of your body thoroughly, and don't let Jiang Yao have worries, this is what she can do at present.

If she mixes up a bad thing, not only will she not be able to take revenge, but she will also drag Jiang Yao down.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Jiang Yao walked around Xunyang City and saw a bamboo door posted with a job posting.

Jiang Yao went home and put on a mask made of shark silk, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and went to apply for a job.

The steward looked at Jiang Yao: "We are a laborer." "A scholar with clear eyebrows, this small body is thin and tall, suitable for reading and writing.

"I know that students are not afraid of hardship." A weak and delicate man, a pair of soul-piercing eyes revealed a sincere light.

The steward couldn't bear to refuse him, gave him a good job, and let him learn to keep accounts and manage accounts with the bookkeeper.

At that time, it was also a society that looked at faces. The look of joy in Jiang Yao's eyes made the steward feel that he had done a good deed.

This business is Jia Jinbao's, and the steward led him to the boss. Jiang Yao followed behind the butler, his hands clenched into fists.

Jia Jinbao is in his fifties, with a chubby figure, a round face and a double chin, so fat that he has no neck, and looks very kind.

The enemy was very red when he saw each other, and Jiang Yao suppressed his impulse to step forward and stab him.

Let the Jia brothers pay for their blood debts, not only for their lives, but also for them to lose all their net worth, which will affect the nine clans. is the ultimate goal of his trip.

Jiang Yao humbly bowed his hand and bowed deeply, "The villain greets the gold lord." ”

Jia Jinbao stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Seeing that you are not a child of a poor family, how could you think of making a living as a helper?" ”

Jiang Yao looked left and right, and Jia Jinbao said kindly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jiang Yao said in a mournful voice: "Back to the master, the little Li Zhao was originally the son of an official eunuch, his father was killed by a traitor, and the little one was almost poisoned. Ask the lord to be kind and take in the little one. ”

"My background is really pitiful, I just don't eat here." Jia Jinbao looked compassionate.

Jia Jinbao's fat face is very kind, and they all say that they are born from the heart. Looking at Jia Jinbao's face, you won't associate him with the most vicious traitors.

Jiang Yao stayed in Jinbao and worked as an apprentice in the accounting office. He looks weak, but he is deaf and sharp-eyed.

Jia Jinbao likes gambling games, and plays with his subordinates in his spare time.

Jiang Yao asked Jia Jinbao for instructions on the accounts this day, and Jia Jinbao led his subordinates to finish a big order.

A group of people were playing in the lobby of the main hall. Jiang Yao glanced at it at first, and there were about thirty people.

Those who stood on the periphery stretched their necks to see, and those who stood on the side of the table to participate in the game showed their strong arms. There is no shortage of scars on the faces and arms of these people.

Hulu drank pheasants and made a lot of noise. The pillars of the lobby were about to collapse by their loud voices. A group of people had a lot of fun, and there was no condescension between the young and the old.

Jia Jinbao clapped his hands and stomped his feet with them, winning two foul words of yelling and scolding, and two swearing words of yelling and scolding when he lost.

Jiang Yao held the account book in his hand and squeezed in from the pile of stout men.

Someone jokingly pinched his arm and said in surprise: "Hey, you can't help but be weak, but you still feel fine." ”

Jiang Yao grinned at him, "Of course, the fine meat is good, the fine meat in the rib team." He also stood by and watched.

The chips were calculated as soon as he opened his mouth, and the calculation was fast and accurate. Jia Jinbao praised him: "You kid still have these two hits." ”

Jiang Yao smiled, "Don't hide it from the master, the little ones are also naughty at home." ”

A man nicknamed Lone Wolf shouted, "Boy, look at your gambling skills." ”

It is also called the play of five woods. A set of five throwing tools made of wood, round and sharp at both ends, flat and wide in the middle, like flattened almonds.

The front and back are painted in black and white, with a calf on the black side and a pheasant on the white side.

Hulu drinks pheasants, all black is Lu, the highest color, four black and one white is called pheasant, secondly, owl or calf is variegated.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and the chips in front of Jiang Yao were piling higher and higher, but he had no business.

The lone wolf slapped him on the back with his big palm, Jiang Yao couldn't stand it, and lay directly on the table, and the chips were also messed up.

The lone wolf laughed and said, "You kid master. ”

Jiang Yao retired, "Brother still has work to do, and he will accompany the heroes another day." Jiang Yao turned to leave.

The lone wolf shouted behind him, "Silver, the silver you won." ”

Jiang Yao shook his hand, his footsteps did not stop, "Brother Quandang invited a few brothers to drink." Jiang Yao didn't take a penny and left.

This kid is a man who can do things. A group of people admired his gambling skills. He is also generous, not a calculating person.

Although he reported his official background, he was also a victim of the court.

These bandits have already classified Jiang Yao as the same kind and have an antagonistic relationship with the government.

Wenzong and Yang Xianfei boated in the Taiye Pool. Taiye Pond has three immortal mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou.

The lake water is clear, and the lake and mountains are beautiful. Flowers, plants, birds and beasts bask in the early spring sunshine and play to their heart's content.

The Wild Duck couple led a group of their children to forage for food in the lake, and cranes swam in pairs on the lake.

The dragon boat seems to be moving forward in the painting. The willow trees on the shore of the lake are like smoke, and the strange flowers and plants planted on the fairy mountain are bright like bright clouds.

Wenzong leaned back on the couch. "What will Penglai Wonderland be like?" Wen Zong looked fascinated.

"Your Majesty is the Prince of Peace. Yang Sifu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites during the Chaohe period, was smart and brilliant when he was a child, and was a protΓ©gΓ© of Quan Deyu, who was quite appreciated by Wu Yuanheng. There are other virtuous people, all of whom gather in the court to serve His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. The world is peaceful, and the world is not comparable to the fairyland. ”

"Concubine Ai's words reminded me of one thing."

The officials of the Southern Ya are still uneven. Officials occupy official positions, and their power is not equal, but their responsibilities are not small.

The enthusiasm of the officials cannot be mobilized, and Wenzong himself has to get by.

Wenzong, who used to eat and drink at night, now does not accompany Concubine Ai on the lake. Wen Zong let out a long sigh.

Concubine Xian plucked the phoenix piano with her hands, a song of mountains and flowing water. Towering ambition in the mountains, oceanic ambition in flowing water.

Within a few days, Yang Sifu was promoted from the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the right of Shangshu. There was an endless stream of officials who went to Yang's mansion to congratulate him.

When it was dark, the porter came to report that someone asked to see him, "Bring him in." Yang Sifu commanded.

"The man said that there was a letter to be handed over to the lord personally."

"Bring him to the study." Yang Si retreated left and right, waiting for someone in the study alone.

The person who came was dressed in a blue coat, and the brim of his hat covered his head and face. Yang Sifu personally got up to greet him, took the guest's hand to the main seat, and personally served tea.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite," the person who came to take off the big coat was none other than Wang Shaocheng, the confidant of Concubine Yang Xian.

Yang Sifu picked up the pen and wrote a reply letter and asked Wang Shaocheng to take it back.

Concubine Yang Xian wrote in the letter that the same sect should take care of each other, whether in the harem or in the court, it is more stable.

Yang Si replied that for the glory of the family, he would do his best to serve Concubine Yang Xian.

Wang Shaocheng covered his head and face, left the Yang Mansion, and went back to report to Concubine Xian.
